Happy 2 months to Abby! Here are some facts about Miss Abby at 2 months.

She loves to smile, especially in the morning!
DSC_0019-1_edited-1
She loves to talk! She loves to play around with the tones her voice can make!

She loves to be held, especially facing forward or one your shoulder. She is not a fan of being cradled.

Sea World

Carter, Abby, Colt, Ma and I made a quick trip to San Antonio to go to Sea World. Sea World was offering all Texas teachers a free fun pass, so my mom and I couldn't pass it up! We went on a Saturday so it was so crowded and so hot! This is my excuse for not being better about documenting our trip, but we did have a fun time!

Friday night after we got in town we ate at a really neat resturant called La Hacienda. We found it by chance while we were going to our hotel. It is a huge resturant with all kinds of neat outdoor seating and a playground!

We ate breakfast at Krispy Kreme. Carter hadn't been there since he can remember since they closed the one by our house so this was a big treat!

Colt got an Oreo Cream donut- talk about sweet!
DSC_0671_edited-1
Carter loved his sprinkle donut!

No donuts for Abby, but she modeled a hat!

Carter and Shamu ready for Sea World!

Abby was ready too, she was such a trooper!
DSC_0683_edited-1
Ready for the Shamu show! It was so crowded that the first show we went to see was full, so we had to hang around and wait for the next show. The show was good, but not as good as it used to be since the trainers can't get into the water.

Abby looking cute while we watched the boys play in the water.
And that is all the pictures I took! It was so hot and it was too hard for me to juggle Abby and my camera, but trust me, we had fun. Carter rode the Shamu roller coaster. He was very newvous, but I told him he needed to at least try it and he did!
DSC_0736_edited-1
We stopped in Austin on our way home and went to the co-op and had lunch with Cody. It was a fun, short trip. When I asked Carter what his favorite part of the trip was, he said, staying in the hotel, ha!

I survived!

Because of the school districts terrible maternity leave policy, I had to go back to work when Abby was 5 1/2 weeks old! May 23 was my first day back. Kris' mom came in town to watch Carter and Abby the first week and then my mom watched them the last 2 weeks. Because we had a Monday off and we got out on a Thursday I had to go back for 13 days. It actually went better than I thought it would and I think it was easier, because I knew the whole time I wouldn't have to come back for a long time because I resigned! And I got paid to do it! I was already going to resign and when the district offered to pay me 15% of my salary to do to, it was even better! Since Abby is such a good sleeper, I really wasn't that tired and it was actually really good to see everyone at school. Everyone was so positive and I missed them! So, I made it through my 13 days and now I am starting a new chapter that I am so excited about! I am so thankful that Kris is giving me this time with my babies, especially since this is Carter's last year before he starts kindergarten. Yipee!
Now if I can only finish cleaning out my room.....

7 weeks

Abby is growing fast! She is still sleeping from about 8pm-5am. When she drinks a bottle she is drinking 5 ounces. She is now wearing a size 1 diaper. She has really started smiling a lot and cooing. She is on the verge of laughing. She loves to look at herself in the mirror! She still has a head full of hair!
